Marrying into the Bamford family was the ultimate aspiration for girls from elite backgrounds. It promised a life of opulence and boundless wealth, thanks to the Bamfords’ unparalleled influence in both government and private business.
Fortunately, Leilani stood out among the rest and successfully became the wife of Waylen Bamford, a man who possessed not only striking looks but also remarkable business acumen. Deeply in love with her husband, Leilani made every effort to become the perfect wife. However, Waylen’s arrogance led him to treat her no better than a servant, despite her attempts to seduce him using various methods.
One fateful day, Leilani found herself on the brink of drowning in an accident, which left her utterly disillusioned. Determined, she firmly demanded a divorce. Waylen, however, dismissed her request as another ploy to gain attention. Moreover, the Bamford family could not bear the scandal that a divorce would bring.
Leilani’s unwavering insistence piqued Waylen’s curiosity. What fate awaits them? Let’s delve into their story below.
“Why do you think I still have it?” he asks in a low voice. Leilani looks down at Waylen’s arm, but he’s wearing a long-sleeved shirt. The sleeves are rolled up to the middle of his forearm, but his upper arm is still hidden. She wants to pull his sleeve up, but she’s afraid to…
Waylen narrows his eyes and repeats the question, “Are you a fraud? Or are you just trying to avoid me?” Leilani glares at him, hating him for putting her in this position. If she says she wants to avoid him, Rebecca will get suspicious and ask why. She doesn’t want to explain her relationship with…
“Hello?” she says. “Hey,” Andrew says. “A horrible storm just hit, and traffic is a nightmare. I think there may have been an accident. I’m afraid I’m going to be late.” Leilani looks out the window in time to see a bolt of lightning flash across the inky sky. A rumble of thunder follows, and…
“One three and one-two,” Waylen says. “Let’s open it.” Waylen pops the cup open, and his face darkens. Leilani leans forward and sees four sixes sitting in the velvet-lined cup. Andrew pulls her to his side and kisses the top of her head. “You must be my good luck charm,” he says. Andrew picks up…
“Fine,” she says. “If you want to continue this barbaric game, you can. But I’m going to stand in for you, Andrew. When you lose, I’ll take the whipping for you.” She stands up and drops the dice cup onto the coffee table before kneeling down on the floor. Andrew scowls and grabs her arm,…
“You brought this whole mess upon yourself,” she says. “But what if I get worse in the night and need help?” he asks. “Please stay.” “We agreed that we wouldn’t sleep in the same room before the baby was born,” she says. “Please keep your promises.” “What are you afraid of?” he asks. “You’re still…
He drops Rebecca’s hands and asks, “Were you here last night?” She says, “Your injury was very serious and I—” “Yes or no?” he asks. “Yes, I came last night,” she whispers. Waylen throws the quilt aside and climbs out of bed. Rebecca reaches for him, but he pushes her hands away and storms into…
“Came to see goodbye?” Waylen scoffs. “But you cleaned my back and applied medicine to it. You wouldn’t do that if you really thought I was going to die.” “No, that didn’t happen,” she says. “You must have imagined it. You had a very high fever, you know.” Violent lips press against hers, and he…
“Seriously, I’m fine,” Leilani says. Sophie nods, but she doesn’t look convinced. She smooths Leilani’s hair and adjusts her skirt, walking her toward the stage entrance. The audience is still screaming and cheering for Crystal. It sounds even louder by the door than it did backstage. “Wait, does Rebecca know anything about you and Mr.…
Rebecca’s lip trembles, but she says, “I trust my boyfriend.” “Don’t be naïve,” Crystal snaps. “Men are scoundrels—they always want another woman.” The audience explodes into gossip again. Leilani wants to cover her ears and run from the room, but she can’t help but overhear the designers and employees. “Oh my God, I think Crystal…
